In March 2010 AT&T put together a documentary on texting while driving. It is stories from people who lost loved ones (the trivial text message being sent was “Yeah”), a young man who killed a bicyclist and another young man who survived a crash caused by distraction from texting.
This short video is powerful. Consider passing this information on to workers, co-workers, children, college students you know…
We need to protect our employees who are on the road: driving, in work zones, commuting, going to lunch, or going to dinner with family. But, distracted driving affects everyone, not just workers. You shouldn’t do it and you should be concerned about other people doing it.
